"Ya'll will remember that last year the Saints had to deal with the stigma of the bounty gate scandel. It was a good thing Roger Goodel tightened up before there were any more concussions. Now coach Sean Payton is back and the team will get back to an even distribution between the run and pass. That's right they will have Mickey Loomis back and Joe Vitt back in the fold who was last years interim coach after serving his suspension for his involvement in bounty gate.

We all know what a great job Drew Brees does of spreading the ball around to different receivers. Yeah, he made it to the Pro Bowl after the Saints fell short in a 7-9 season even if it was as an alternate. He threw an awful lot of interceptions and had his TD streak broken.

The question will be can Rob Ryan change the defense that was dead last in the history of the NFL while dealing with post bounty gate issues? They are changing from a 4-3 to a 3-4 because they brought in Rob Ryan who was fired from Dallas after an unsatisfactory go of it there. The defense was dead last in almost every category and was just abysmal under former coordinator Spagnola.

You know it's been years since Katrina devestated New Orleans........it looks like they've bounced back nicely.
And the Mercedes Benz Superdome really lights up the New Orleans sky line and the field looks ready. The cajun cuisine here is wonderful and so are the Saints fans. They are a ferocious 12th man. That's right it can really get loud in here.......the Superdome is one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.

We'll just have to see how hard it is for them to put bounty gate behind them and move on...........The effects from the bounty gate scandal will linger for a long time in New Orleans. It's going to be a tough road for the Saints this year."
